Private colleges and universities in Virginia

I'm exploring my college options and I've been wondering, what are some private colleges and universities in Virginia that I should consider?

a year ago

Virginia is home to a number of prestigious private colleges and universities, each offering unique and diverse programs and environments. Here are a few you might find interesting:

1. University of Richmond: This liberal arts institution offers distinctive combination of programs in arts and sciences, business, leadership studies, law, and continuing education.

2. Washington and Lee University: Located in Lexington, it provides a liberal arts education including the Williams School of Commerce, Economics, Politics, and the School of Law.

3. Liberty University: In Lynchburg, it's one of the largest Christian universities in the world and has a strong focus on studies in Biblical and theological disciplines, though they do offer a wide range of academic programs.

4. Hampton University: A historically Black university (HBCU), situated in Hampton, is known for its strong programs in business, social sciences, and health sciences.

5. Virginia Wesleyan University: Located in Virginia Beach, it offers comprehensive liberal arts programs with an emphasis on environmental, medical, and marine sciences due to its coastal location.

6. Roanoke College: A small liberal arts college located in Salem. Unlike most colleges of its type, Roanoke offers a business major.

Remember, it's important to consider the academic programs and campus culture of each school to find the best fit for you. Take a look at their course catalogs, clubs, resources, and supports available to students to see what resonates with you the most. Good luck with your college search!
